At $619,000 per year Peter Martins is pulling in twice the minimum salary of a Major League baseball player! When you compare it to baseball, he’s making nothing for running arguably the number 1 ballet company in the world. Sadly, if ballet companies did not receive donations, ticket prices would have to double. When someone is making that much, some may stop donating. If NYCB had their way, I’m sure all salaries would be kept top secret.

I wonder what direction NYCB would have taken had Suzanne Farrell been at the helm at some point?

I assume you speak in general terms with the above. At $619,000 per year, I can’t envision Peter Martins being short on cash! I think he can also afford to buy his own car! As for accommodations, I can envision a condo near work if he lives in the suburbs.

I assume NYCB may pay for all his dry cleaning-both for his own and other garments which may be worn as a fashion accessory by close friends!

I was hoping someone else would respond to this. Unless I've been told wrongly, the items Salzberg mentioned are specific to this instance...
